Higher prices to be seen on the USD/CAD?

FX:USDCAD   U.S. Dollar / Canadian Dollar
1
Weekly Timeframe: At the time of writing, buyers and sellers are seen trading between a weekly decision-point support level at 1.08774, and a weekly Quasimodo resistance level at 1.12231. A break above here could potentially see prices trading up to at least the weekly supply area seen at 1.17225-1.15417; conversely, a break below the weekly decision-point support level could encourage follow-through selling down to around a very obvious weekly demand area seen at 1.05715-1.07008.

Daily Timeframe: A nice-looking break above daily supply (1.10980-1.10344) has recently been seen. This break indicates that the path may very well be clear up to at least the 1.11910 level (Quasimodo resistance), which is only 32 pips or so below the weekly Quasimodo resistance level (1.12231).

4hr Timeframe: There has been some very interesting developments on the 4hr timeframe. The combined 4hr supply/round number area at 1.10872-1.11033/1.11 has been well and truly consumed.

This move likely indicates that the path north is clear up to at least the 4hr fresh supply area seen at 1.11681-1.11392. With that being said, before this area is hit, we should be prepared for a correction to be seen towards a nice-looking 4hr demand area at 1.10521-1.10677, which is where we’ll be looking to enter long around the 1.10697 level, the reasons for which are as follows:

1. This 4hr demand area is fresh (untouched).
2. This 4hr demand area seems to also be a fakeout of the minor lows to the left (1.10627/1.10632) indicating unfilled buy orders may still be lurking there.
3. The daily timeframe shows that most of the sellers are likely consumed around the daily supply area at 1.10980-1.10344, implying there is room for price to move north at least up to the daily Quasimodo resistance level seen at 1.11910.

So, for the time being, it looks like we are back to sitting on our hands with this pair!
